FAQs

Do you take cards?

Bingo cashiers accept debit and cash including touch pay. Pull Tabs are cash only.

Are children allowed?

Children 6 and up are allowed but must be accompanied by an adult and any winnings will be paid to that adult. Bingo tends to be boring to very small children.

How long does bingo last?

On average, sessions tend to last around 1.5 hours. This can fluctuate depending on the attendance size and amount of pull tabs that are sold and played.

What are Pull Tabs?

Pull tabs are like mini-games that are played throughout the night. There are three different types of pull tabs and you can learn about how each are played here. Pull tab sales are the primary income for the charity at a bingo session, as most of the bingo income pays the jackpots per game.

What does Level 1 and Level 2 mean?

Level 1 is Full Pay. Level 2 is Half Pay. This means that if a bingo pot is $100 and you win on Level 1, you win the full $100 minus 5% taxes. If you win on Level 2, you win $50 minus 5% taxes. In the event of multiple bingos, the pot is split first by the number of players for Level 1 wins and then split in half on Level 2 wins. Each card is marked on the computers as Level 1 or Level 2. Paper is Level 1 unless a kid pack is being played and those are Level 2.

What is the Hotball?

The Hotball is a side jackpot that you can enter for $3. Before each bingo session, a ball is pulled and named the “Hotball.” If you bingo on this number, you will win the extra jackpot. The jackpot increases each day until it is won and resets to $100. The Hotball does not apply to Blackout. The Hotball jackpot maxes out at $500.

How does Bonanza work?

At the beginning of every session, we pull 48 balls. You pre-daub your Bonanza cards at the beginning of bingo and at intermission. Bonanza is played for a blackout within a certain number of balls starting at 52 and increases each week by one until Bonanza is won. If nobody wins Bonanza during the session, we continue playing for a consolation prize of $25 in pull tabs. The Bonanza jackpot maxes out at $1199. All additional proceeds from Bonanza goes to our charity, Lake Fork Stables.
